WHAT TO WEAR: Solo Date

Hello lovely Fashionistas/os! As the midterm season is winding down it is important to take a moment to slow down and make time for yourselves. Self care is such an important skill to practice, especially during the crazy years of college. After hours of countless studying, work and class you definitely deserve a break whether that be sleeping until noon, watching Netflix until 3 a.m., going dancing with your friends or relaxing with your significant other. One of my favorite things to do in the city is to visit funky art exhibitions like the Dream House or The Earth Room then grabbing a bite to eat. What I love about art exhibitions and museums is that it is perfectly okay to go alone! You can view the art at your pace and in a more intimate way while enjoying being with your own thoughts. Sometimes it’s best to take yourself out. You deserve it! Put on your favorite outfit and, as Queen B would say, feel yourself.

Speaking of Beyoncé, “Feeling Myself” was definitely this Fashionista’s song of the day because her chic outfit and sassy attitude definitely caught my eye. Her outfit exuded utter confidence, which is how your outfit should make you feel—confident and comfortable in your own skin! This Fashionista’s kept her outfit chic by styling it with simple accessories that accented the gold on her clutch and shoes. She paired some versatile high-waisted culottes with a delicate black lace crop top giving her look a slight sexy edge. She completed her look with some simple yet chic black strappy heels and some cool shades—perfect for strolling through Soho or browsing galleries in Chelsea on a sunny fall day!

As the semester goes on don’t forget to occasionally take a day to treat yourself! It is easy to get caught up in schoolwork and the hustle of college life, but your main priority should always be yourself. Weather forecast predicts a beautiful fall day one upcoming weekend? Take a break from homework and take yourself out instead. Catch up with friends, go on a stroll in the park or doll yourself just for fun. Do whatever it is you love, relax and enjoy! You are amazing. Never forget it!
